Roddy Doyle
A gripping adventure story and family drama in one
While Tom and Johnny are on a husky safari in Finland, their half-sister
Grainne stays behind to face the mother who abandoned her. Tom and
Johnny are too caught up in their adventure to think of home - until they
find themselves lost in the snow, plunged into a desperate struggle for
survival. Roddy Doyle’s first novel for young people is an enthralling
mixture of adventure and drama.

A gripping tale of survival on the streets of wartime London
George is fascinated by World War Two. Even evacuation and rationing

has got to be better than living in dreary old Witchfield. He is looking
forward to a school trip to a World War Two museum. But he doesn’t
realise quite how authentic this trip will be.
A hand reaching out of the fake rubble, a slip in time, and George finds
himself having to survive something far worse than boredom. The rubble

Tom Becker
Award-winning modern gothic adventure
Jonathan Starling’s home has been attacked and his father is in an

asylum. On the run from a gang of kidnappers, Jonathan hides out in a
secret borough that festers in the heart of modern London. Founded by
Jack the Ripper, Darkside is a place of evil, danger and unimaginable
excitement, where nightmares walk the streets.
t

If people try hard enough they can persuade themselves of pretty much
anything. Most people don’t want to acknowledge that Darkside exists, so
they keep their heads down and carry on with their little lives. It’s obvious
we’re here, but you need to look in the right places. You’ll find that if you
walk down a certain tunnel, or go down a certain staircase, or cut through a
certain alleyway, we’re just around the corner.

Comedy, horror and thriller in one fantastic read
Fergal collects tins without labels because the contents are always a
surprise. One day he makes the gruesome discovery of a finger inside
one tin, and the word HELP inside another. Determined to find out what
horror is behind these sinister contents, Fergal sets off on a dangerous
adventure and makes a far more horrible discovery! This macabre and

suspense.
